I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead.

I want to suffer with him, sharing in his death, 

so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!

Philippians 3:10-11 NLT

We sometimes get told about "ressurection power", and here Paul's asking for it in a way.

He's still old.

He's still in prison. Locked down.

He's already met Jesus once, but this passage is about the future, and the hope that Paul holds. 

Resurrection hope. 

Hope that is secured by Jesus ressurection. 

Hope that is secured by Jesus' suffering.

This is the hope we hold to no matter what is going on in the world, in our lives, when fear takes root, when uncertainty is the flavour of the day, our hope is with Paul.

Resurrection.

We get glimpses of it, and one day we will know that ressurection power in its fullness.

And we will see Jesus face to face.
